TO: ALL FRIENDS OF THE GAMBIA -L particularly to those that sponsor their parents to Travel to MECCA by using Globe Travel Services. Explanation to the circumstances relating to the tittle delay in Globe Travel return journey from MECCA. The Gambia New Millennium Airline being the sole charterer to transported almost Two Thousand (2000) Gambian Pilgrims from various Gambian Hajj Companies for Hajj 2001, G M N A operates an illusion 62 Aircraft with 174 Passengers Seating Capacity. Since the Gambia New Millennium Airline (G. N. M. A. ) has 9 Hajj flights to operate Banjul- Jeddah- Banjul and to transport all the Gambian Pilgrims back to Banjul after the Hajj also in made four to Five cancellations from the Millennium Flight Operation which as a result pushed the schedule backwards in the uplifting of the Pilgrims on the dates arranged. The G. N. M. A. had planned to hire a bigger Aircraft B747 with 500 Passengers to carry the operation but later cancel the plan due to some other reason. Since each Company has its own schedule date of travel, the Globe Pilgrims had to continued to wait in their Hotel in MAKKAH for their new travel date to be advice by the Gambia New Millennium Agent in Jeddah and Banjul respectively. AL HAMDU LILAAH almost 200 Globe Travel Agency Pilgrims have return home safely leaving behind at JEDDAH Airport almost 150 Gambian Pilgrims being the G. N. M. A. last Hajj flight comprises of Passengers from Makkah Travel and Olympic Travel Agency which are expecting on 25th or 26th of March 2001. Although before Globe Travel Pilgrims return to Banjul there has being a lot of bad report and negative publicity about our Company but all this have being proven as baseless and unfound stories when our Pilgrims arrived into Banjul International Airport and started talking to local Journalist and their respective family members who came to welcome them at the Banjul International Airport. Some of my competitors were using our little delay through the press, Internet and unfounded roumous to destroy our image and repetitions. Globe Travel has being in the HAJJ business for the pass Nine years and has never had any major delay since nine ( 9) years. We will accept this years delay as destine by God and I promise strongly to avoid similar delay INSAHA ALLAH in the near future. For those of you who have sponsored your parents through us we would like you to confirmed through your parents our standard quality Operations and Services for the HAJJ 2001. So far all our Pilgrims have express their satisfaction and once more total support for Globe Travel Agency and has dismiss all bad roumous and publicity to the Gambian press and their families as well as in the Gambia upon arrival at Banjul International Airport. I thank you all for your support and understanding. Regards PA O. NJIE MANAGING DIRECTOR who accompanied the Globe Pilgrims to MAKKAH. 24th March 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
